Re: [HOT] request for mapping buildings in Malawi flood plan with focus on two areas
The Job on Tasking Manager for Phalombe and Zomba is yet to be created. I hope Severin will help us on the same. I can assist in locating the camps, We have some data for the rescue camps (for Phalombe and Zomba).

Re: [HOT] request for mapping buildings in Malawi flood plan with focus on two areas
There are people already mapping the camps. Mapaction has done most of that. We are mainly concerned with the residential buildings, to count the number of houses damaged.
